Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding financial reporting. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Fusemachines Inc. and its subsidiaries. Investments in entities where we hold at least a 20% ownership interest and have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or $), which is the functional currency of the Parent Company. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Legacy Fusemachines (now known as Fusemachines USA, Inc.).

 

Prior Period Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to the valuation of operating lease right-of-use assets, convertible notes, cumulative mandatorily redeemable common and preferred stock liability, common stock warrants, common and convertible preferred stock, current expected credit losses (“CECL”), stock-based compensation, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of software development costs, forward purchase derivative liability, equity method investments and income taxes.

The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and its beliefs of what could occur in the future, given available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates.

 

Cash & cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Related Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

 

The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as an accounts receivable. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment is due) regardless of whether the amounts have been billed. Accounts receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s customers for AI solutions (products and services). The Company receives payments from customers based upon agreed-upon contractual terms. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers.

 

Account receivables are stated net of allowance for expected credit losses. Outstanding receivables are reviewed periodically, and allowances are provided for the estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The allowance for expected credit loss is based on the probability of future collection determined by applying a loss-rate method using the Company’s historical loss experience. The Company also considers reasonable and supportable current and future conditions in determining its estimated loss rates, such as external forecasts, macroeconomic trends or other factors including customer specific credit risk characteristics. The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated on a regular basis. Account balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the balance is deemed uncollectible, which occurs when balances reach 365 days past due. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance. Changes in the allowance are recorded as adjustments to bad debt expense in the period incurred.

 

Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and equipment acquired in the ordinary course of the Company’s operations are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred

 

Depreciation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Depreciable lives by major classification generally are as follows:

 

   Useful life 
Computers and other hardware  5-8 years   
Vehicles and other fixed assets (excluding computers)  2-10 years 
Office, furniture, and equipment  2-10 years 
Leasehold improvements - shorter of lease term of estimated useful life  2-10 years 

 

Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets consists of internally developed capitalized software, which will help in the management of the AI solutions business and will be sold on a license basis.

 

Internal use software

 

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to internal use software acquired, modified, or developed related to the Company’s services in accordance with ASC 350, Internal use software. These capitalized costs are primarily related to salaries and other personnel costs. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development and the post implementation phase are expensed as incurred. The company adopts agile method of software development which is generally characterized as an iterative and more dynamic process where the planning, design and coding are less distinct and performed in short sprints. The Company analyses the nature of the development and implementation activities - i.e. whether Subtopic 350-40 characterizes them as capitalizable application development stage activities - when deciding whether the costs of those activities should be capitalized or expensed as incurred. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. The amortization expense is recorded in “General and administration” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Software costs that are expensed are recorded in “Research and Development” on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Software developed for sale

 

The costs incurred for the development of computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985, Costs of Software to be sold, leased or marketed, when technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility generally occurs when all planning, designing, coding and testing activities are completed that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications, including functions, features, and technical performance requirements. These capitalized costs are primarily related to salaries and other personnel costs.

 

   Useful life 
Internally developed software  3 years  

 

Segment reporting

 

Under Topic 280, an operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available.

 

The Company operates as one operating segment with a focus on data engineering, AI consulting, and technical services. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), as the Company’s chief operating decision maker, manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a consolidated basis. This enables the Company’s CEO to assess the overall level of available resources and determine how best to deploy these resources across service lines in line with the Company’s long-term company-wide strategic goals.

 

The CODM considers the Company’s net income/(loss), expenses and the components of total assets to assess the segment’s performance and make resource allocation decisions for the Company’s single segment which is consistent with that presented within these financial statements.

 

As the Company’s operations are comprised of a single reporting segment, the Company’s segment assets are reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as “total assets” and its significant segment expenses and net loss are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive loss.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation and amortization. When the carrying value of an asset is more than the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows, an impairment is recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Factors that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate that could affect the value of the asset, or a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, among others.

 

The Company holds long-lived assets in two countries worldwide. The table below presents the breakdown of the Company’s long-lived assets, based on geographic region (in thousands).

 

Schedule of Long-lived Assets, Based on Geographic Region

   2025   2024 
   Long lived assets as of 
   December 31,   December 31, 
   2025   2024 
Nepal  $247   $286 
United States   264    249 
Total long-lived assets  $511   $535

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election

 

The Company entered into related party convertible notes payable, at fair value in October 2019, September 2021, and Convertible Notes payable at fair value in January 2024, (the “Convertible Notes at Fair Value”). (Refer to “Note 10 – Long-Term Debt”). As permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), the Company elected the FVO to account for the Convertible Notes at Fair Value and Related Party Convertible notes at Fair Value. In accordance with ASC 825, the Company recorded them at fair value. The FVO may be applied instrument by instrument, but it is irrevocable. Subsequent changes in fair value would be recorded as a separate line in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of applying the FVO, direct costs and fees related to the Convertible Notes at Fair Value and Related Party Convertible notes at Fair Value were expensed as incurred. The Company concluded it was appropriate to apply the FVO to Convertible Notes at Fair Value and Related Party Convertible notes at Fair Value because they are liabilities that are not, in whole or in part, classified as a component of stockholders’ equity. In addition, the Convertible Notes at Fair Value and Related Party Convertible notes at Fair Value met other applicable criteria for electing the FVO under ASC 825.

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of changes in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when (or as) customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 606 to an arrangement when a substantive contract exists and collectability is probable.

 

The Company derives the majority of its revenue from AI Solutions (Products and Services) that largely represents professional services the Company provides to its customers to help them achieve any AI-related goals within their organization. Standard contractual arrangements are governed by Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”), which set out general terms including payment, termination rights, and intellectual property ownership. Detailed scope, pricing, and performance obligations are defined in Statements of Work (“SOWs”), which are executed for each engagement or project phase. The Company’s contracts for AI Services have different terms based on the scope and complexity of engagements; pricing for the majority of contracts are invoiced monthly on a time-and-materials basis. The Company notes that its contracts meet the requirements for over-time revenue recognition, as the customer is simultaneously receiving the benefits and able to consume the benefits of the services being provided. For professional services that are distinct and billed on a time-and-materials basis, revenue is generally recognized as the services are provided, which is reflective of the transfer of the services to the customer. The Company elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient based on the Company’s right to invoice a customer at an amount that approximates the value to the customer and the performance completed to date.

 

The Company also provides AI Education Services which represents a customized curriculum of educational services provided to train the customer’s C-suite on AI for Business. The Company provides AI Education Services over time as the course proceeds and the students retain knowledge over time. Thus, the customer receives and consumes benefits as the Company performs the AI Education Services, and revenue is recognized overtime.

 

Company’s AI Solutions includes product revenues primarily comprising of software license fees from sales of term-based license contracts, under which we grant customers the license right to use the software for a specified period (i.e. when the customer can access, use, and benefit from the software license). Term software licenses are satisfied at a point in time and associated revenue is recognized upon the later of 1) delivery of the software, or 2) the beginning of the period in which the customer has received the license right to use the software. For customer contracts that include software license fees, implementation and/or other consulting services, the portion of the transaction price allocated to software licenses is generally recognized when delivered. Implementation, customization, or model tuning services if applicable, when included, are evaluated as separate performance obligations when they are distinct from the software and not highly interdependent. These services are generally satisfied over time as the work progresses. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the product revenues were insignificant.

 

 

Fusemachines Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

For most contracts, the Company uses a Master Service Agreements (“MSA”) to govern the overall relevant terms and conditions of the business agreement, and a Statement of Work (“SOW”) to specify the services delivered and the associated prices. Performance obligations specific to each individual contract are defined within the terms of each SOW. Each performance obligation is identified based on the services that will be transferred to our customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled and expect to receive in exchange for transferring services to the customer.

 

Consideration for some contracts may include variable consideration including volume discounts and rebates. If the consideration promised includes a variable amount, the Company only includes estimated amounts of consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. These estimates require management judgments and estimates. The determination of whether to constrain consideration in the transaction is based on historical, current, and forecasted information that is reasonably available to the Company, taking into consideration the type of customer, the transaction, and specific facts and circumstances of each arrangement. The Company uses judgement to determine if collectability of consideration is uncertain, and accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until the uncertainty is resolved and cash is collected.

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date. In certain arrangements, the Company will receive payment from a customer either before or after the performance obligation to which the invoice relates has been satisfied. As a practical expedient, the Company does not account for significant financing components if the period between when it transfers the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for the product or service will be one year or less.

 

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells these products. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the stand-alone selling prices using other observable inputs. As Fusemachines Inc. is the sole reportable segment, all revenues are attributed to the sole segment.

 

Contract Balances

 

Differences in timing between revenue recognition and cash collection result in contract assets and contract liabilities. The Company classifies these assets as unbilled revenue; the liabilities are classified as deferred revenue.

 

Deferred revenue represents the amounts billed or cash payments received in advance of revenue recognition at the end of the reporting period. These amounts are recorded in deferred revenue until revenue is recognized through delivery of service or upon meeting the performance obligation. The Company’s deferred revenue represents contract liabilities. Generally, when billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, the Company reports unbilled revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Consists principally of consulting and payroll expenses as well as stock-based compensation expense that are assigned to customer projects.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses represent costs incurred to promote the Company’s services offered, including salaries, benefits and related costs of our sales and marketing personnel, and represent costs of advertising and other selling and marketing expenses. All sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Consists of expenses associated with general and administrative functions of the business such as the costs of salaries, stock-based compensation expense, Information Technology (“IT”) infrastructure, allowance for expected credit losses, travel, legal and accounting services, insurance, rent, software and tools, meals, other professional services activities, and certain non-income taxes.

 

Defined Contribution Plan

 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. The Company recognizes its liabilities for compensated absences dependent on whether the obligation is attributable to employee services already rendered, relates to rights that vest or accumulate and payment is probable and estimable.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation expense attributable to equity awards granted to employees and non-employees is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. For employee awards, the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards that actually vest, which is generally the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period. For non-employee awards, the expense for awards that actually vest is recognized based on when the goods or services are provided.

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). This standard requires all equity-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock awards, to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on the grant date fair value of the award. The stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the period from the accounting grant date to the end of the vesting period. The Company elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur.

 

Since the adoption of ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Stock-Based Payment Accounting, the measurement date for non-employee awards is the date of grant, and stock-based compensation costs are recognized in the same period and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services. Stock-based compensation expense is classified as general and administrative, cost of revenue, selling and marketing and research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the Black Scholes Merton option pricing formula (the “Black-Scholes Model”). This model requires various significant judgmental assumptions in order to derive a final fair value determination for each type of award, including the expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The expected option term for options granted is calculated using the “simplified method”. This election was made based on the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is based on similar entities whose stock prices are publicly traded. The Company uses the historical volatilities of similar entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data for the Company’s common stock price. The Company estimates volatility based upon the observed historical volatilities of comparable companies over a lookback period commensurate with the estimated holding period, adjusted for relative leverage using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. Dividend yields are based on the Company’s history and expected future actions. The Company has not declared or paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends. As such, the dividend yield has been estimated to be zero. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award was granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award. All grants of stock options generally have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

 

The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options has historically been determined by the Company’s Board of directors as there was no public market for the underlying common stock prior to October 22, 2025. In estimating the fair value of its stock, the Company uses a third-party valuation specialist and considers factors it believes are material to the valuation process, including but not limited to, the price at which recent equity was issued by the Company to independent third parties or transacted between third parties, any indications of value from offers to acquire the Company, actual and projected financial results, risks, prospects, economic and market conditions, and estimates of weighted average cost of capital. The Company believes the combination of these factors provides an appropriate estimate of the expected fair value of the Company and reflects the best estimate of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date.

 

Notes Receivable from Stockholders

 

From time to time the Company has entered into promissory note agreements with certain employees for the purpose of financing the early exercise of the Company’s stock options. Although the shares of common stock purchased by the employees in exchange for the promissory notes are considered legally issued, the Company does not consider them outstanding for accounting purposes. Instead, the Company treats them as restricted until the options are fully vested and the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the notes are repaid in full. Unvested shares for which the promissory notes are fully satisfied are recorded as a share repurchase liability and as shares vest are recognized to additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Advertising Cost

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $61.8 thousand and $126.2 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which are included in selling and marketing costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be reversed. Changes to enacted tax rates would result in either increases or decreases in the provision for income taxes in the period of changes

 

The realizability of deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future earnings. The Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets and recognizes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A reduction in estimated forecasted results may require that we record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Once a valuation allowance has been established, it will be maintained until there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. A pattern of sustained profitability will generally be considered as sufficient positive evidence to reverse a valuation allowance. If the allowance is reversed in a future period, the income tax provision will be correspondingly reduced.

 

Accordingly, the increase and decrease of valuation allowances could have a significant negative or positive impact on future earnings

 

The United States subjects corporations to taxes on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company elected to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred.

 

Deferred Transaction Costs

 

The Company records deferred transaction costs, which consist of legal, accounting, and other fees related to the preparation of the Merger. (Refer to “Note 1 – Organization”). The deferred transaction costs will be offset against proceeds from the transaction upon the effectiveness of the Business Combination. Fusemachines Inc. incurred transaction cost of $1,873 thousands, consisting of deferred transaction cost, banking fees, legal fees, and other professional fees as at October 22, 2025, which has been recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital as a direct and incremental cost of the reverse recapitalization.

 

Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company applies the guidance enumerated in ASC Subtopic 480-10,

 

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity-Overall (ASC 480-10), when determining the classification and measurement of convertible preferred stock. Convertible preferred stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are initially measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 480-10 and accreted to their redemption value under the effective interest method. All other issuances of convertible preferred stock are subject to the classification and measurement principles of ASC 480-10. Accordingly, the Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred stock (if any), which includes preferred stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Companys control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its convertible preferred stock in stockholder’s deficit.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the ASC 730, Research and Development. Under ASC 730, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred, with the exception of certain software development costs discussed above. Our research and development costs consist primarily of payroll costs associated with software product development, testing, quality assurance, documentation, enhancements and upgrades for existing customers under maintenance.

 

Research and Development costs were $720 thousand and $732 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company applies the two-class method to compute basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, when shares meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income (loss) available to common shareholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to share in the earnings as if all income (loss) for the period had been distributed. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the impact of potential common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the potential exercise of warrants or options, and the potential conversion of preferred stock or convertible notes, into common stock, under the if-converted method. Due to the net losses for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, basic and dilutive net loss per share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive

 

 

Fusemachines Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the instruments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).

 

Shortfall warrants, public and private warrants, and warrants issued in connection with convertible notes were evaluated under ASC 480 and ASC 815-40 and determined not to meet the criteria for liability classification. These warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the requirements for equity classification. Accordingly, such warrants are recorded within stockholders’ equity and are not subsequently remeasured.

 

All other warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification are accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently there are no material pending or threatened litigation matters that management believes require accrual or disclosure in addition to those presented in the Note on Litigation (refer Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies).

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement

 

Assets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the year. Equity transactions are translated using historical exchange rates. The adjustment resulting from translating the consolidated financial statements of such foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars is reflected as a cumulative translation adjustment and reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

As a result of its global operations, the Company may be subject to certain inherent risks.

 

Concentration of Credit - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions. The Company believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk and there is no expectation of non-performance by the counterparties. Accounts receivables are generally dispersed across many customers operating in different industries; therefore, concentration of credit risk is limited. If any of the Company’s customers enter bankruptcy protection or otherwise take steps to alleviate their financial distress, the Company’s credit losses and write-offs of receivables could increase, which would negatively impact its results of operations.

 

Significant Customers and Suppliers — The concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is primarily limited to certain customers to which the Company makes substantial sales. To minimize credit risk related to accounts receivable, the Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses based on historical loss patterns as well as future expectations. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had three and four customers whose accounts receivable balance accounted for at least 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivables, respectively. These customers accounted for approximately 47.64% and 61.6% of the Company’s receivables at the end of the respective periods. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had three and two customers whose revenue accounted for at least 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively. These customers accounted for approximately 42.2 % and 23.9 % of the Company’s total revenue at the end of the respective periods.

 

The Company pays its suppliers on normal commercial terms and does not believe that there is any significant supply risk from its suppliers. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had three and three suppliers whose account payable accounted for at least 10% of the Company’s consolidated account payables, respectively. These suppliers accounted for approximately 57.0% and 61.4% of the Company’s total payables at the end of the respective periods.

 

Foreign currency risk - The Company’s global operations are conducted predominantly in U.S. dollars. While revenue is generated in U.S. dollars, the Company incurs expenses in other currencies, principally, Nepalese rupees and Canadian dollars. The Company’s international operations expose it to risk of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (both third-party and intercompany) and translation of earnings and cash flows into U.S. dollars.

 

Interest rate risk - The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from variable rates related to cash, short-term investments, and the Company’s borrowings. The Company does not believe it is exposed to material direct risks associated with changes in interest rates related to these deposits, investments and borrowings.

 

Geopolitical risks - As a result of its global operations, the Company is exposed to geopolitical risks, including ongoing and potential wars, terrorism, sanctions and trade disputes. These developments may disrupt supply chains and data flows, restrict access to critical technology and infrastructure (including AI-enabling hardware and cloud services), and increase cybersecurity and compliance risks. As a result of its global operations, the Company may be subject to certain inherent risks.

Leases

 

The Company’s lease portfolio includes one real estate leases under operating lease agreements. At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on whether: (i) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term of the contract, and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

Upon the adoption of ASC 842, the Company elected the package of practical expedients to not (i) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease, (ii) reassess historical lease classifications for existing leases, and (iii) reassess initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Accordingly, the Company shall include non-lease components with lease payments for the purpose of calculating lease assets and liabilities to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments

 

The Company exempts leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from balance sheet recognition and, for all classes of assets, combines non-lease components with lease components. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations.

 

The Company evaluates the classification of its leases as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset, (iv) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset, or (v) the leased asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria.

 

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease (or January 1, 2022, for existing leases upon the adoption of Topic 842). The discount rate implicit within the Company’s leases is generally not determinable; therefore, the Company determines the discount rate using its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

The Company records rent expense for short-term leases and operating leases, some of which have escalating rent payments, on a straight-line basis over the lease term

The Company discloses all significant related party transactions.

 

 

Fusemachines Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $4,221 thousand. For the years ended December 31, 2025, the Company used approximately $5,529 thousand in cash for operating activities. Historically, the Company has incurred recurring net losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $35,145 thousand. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders and debt holders. Specifically, continuation is contingent on the Company’s ability to obtain necessary equity to continue operations, and ultimately the Company’s ability to generate profit from sales and positive operating cash flows, which is not assured.

 

On October 22, 2025, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Fusemachines, with Legacy Fusemachines continuing as the surviving company and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Fusemachines Inc. In connection with the closing, approximately $14.0 million in cash was received for the issuance of shares of Fusemachines Inc. common stock. All convertible notes were settled through the issuance of Fusemachines Inc. common stock, and certain promissory notes were repaid in cash upon closing. Following the business combination, the net balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $9.4 million. The Company’s trade payables, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities exceed the net cash and cash equivalents balance. Management is evaluating initiatives to streamline operations through reductions in headcount and consultant costs, and continued negotiations with vendors to achieve more favorable terms. In addition, the Company’s business plan anticipates a measured growth trajectory supported by new client acquisitions and expansion of existing customer relationships. While these actions are expected to enhance the Company’s financial position and extend its operational runway once implemented, they remain in the planning and negotiation stages.

 

As of the date on which these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, we believe that the cash on hand, and additional investments available through issuance of new common stock, will be inadequate to satisfy the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s plan to raise additional capital from issuance of equity or receive additional borrowings to fund the Company’s operating and investing activities over the next year. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Investment in Equity Securities

 

The Company’s equity investment comprises of investments in equity securities of private Companies. These equity investments are accounted for under the equity method, and initially recorded at estimated fair value, less any impairment. The Company’s share of gains and losses if any from these equity method investments are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, net of income tax provision. Equity investments are reviewed regularly to determine whether there is a decline in estimated fair value below the carrying amount. If there is a decline that is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to estimated fair value. When evaluating the equity investment for impairment, the Company performs a qualitative and quantitative assessment to evaluate whether a decline in estimated fair value below the carrying amount is other-than- temporary. The qualitative assessment includes a review of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, the investee’s recent operating results and trends, recent acquisitions and sales of the investee securities, and other publicly available data, among other factors. If the Company determines that the decline is other-than-temporary, the Company records an impairment loss to write the equity investment to the estimated fair value.

 

Treasury Stock

 

The Company records treasury stock activities under the cost method whereby the cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. The Company’s accounting policy upon the formal retirement of treasury stock is to deduct the par value from the Company’s common stock and to reflect any excess cost over par value as a reduction to additional paid-in capital (to the extent created by previous issuances of the shares) and then retained earnings.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination on October 22, 2025, treasury shares previously held by the Company totaling 438,903 shares, with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $2.9 million, were excluded from the share exchange and did not participate in the reverse recapitalization. As treasury shares are not considered outstanding, these shares were effectively retired in connection with the transaction and accordingly are not reflected as outstanding shares of common stock following the closing of the Business Combination.

Emerging Growth Company (EGC)

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Embedded Derivatives

 

ASC 815 requires companies to bifurcate certain features from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments should certain criteria be met. We evaluate our financial instruments to determine whether such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract and the features of the derivatives. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations each period. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified with the related host contract in our consolidated balance sheets. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

  

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Management periodically reviews newly issued accounting standards to determine their potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures- In December 2023, the FASB issued this ASU to update income tax disclosure requirements, primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2024, the SEC issued its final climate disclosure rules (Rule 1), which require the disclosure of climate-related information in annual reports and registration statements, beginning with annual reports for the year ending December 31, 2025. The rules require disclosure in the audited financial statements of certain effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions above certain financial thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates, if material. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new rules and continue to monitor the status of the related legal challenges.

 

ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued this ASU that requires more detailed disclosure about certain costs and expenses presented in the income statement, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, selling expense and depreciation expense. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance does not affect recognition or measurement in our consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2024-04 Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options - Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. In November 2024, the FASB issued this ASU which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions or extinguishments. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-04, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer (“ASU 2025-04”). ASU 2025-04 revises the definition of a performance condition, eliminates the forfeiture policy election for service conditions, and clarifies that the variable consideration constraint in Topic 606 does not apply to share-based consideration payable to customers. The new guidance requires entities to consistently account for share-based awards granted to customers by clarifying the treatment of vesting conditions and ensuring alignment with Topic 606 and Topic 718. ASU 2025-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06- Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06), which is intended to simplify the capitalization guidance for internal-use software by removing references to project stages and clarifying when the capitalizing of eligible costs is required. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its disclosures.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have had a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.

 

The Company does not believe any other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that have not become effective will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

 

In May 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (“ASU 2025-03”). ASU 2025-03 changes how companies determine the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations involving variable interest entities. The new guidance requires considering the factors used for other acquisition transactions to assess which party is the accounting acquirer. ASU 2025-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2027. The Company has early adopted ASU 2025-03. Accordingly, even if the acquired entity meets the definition of a VIE under ASC 810, the determination of the accounting acquirer is based on an evaluation in accordance with ASC 805-10 and ASC 805-50. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Further, the adoption did not change the Company’s overall accounting conclusions with respect to the identification of the accounting acquirer.
